Murals, Paintings, Illustration & Metal Artwork for Crawdaddy Restaurant
Crawdaddy was opening a second location much larger than the original and I was tasked with providing all of the interior artwork while construction was underway. I created 2 full-size graffiti murals in spray paint, 3 printed aluminum panels, a large, laser-cut metal piece made of copper, aluminum & steel, a woodcut design & 4 painted columns.
All of the artwork for the murals, printed pieces & laser cuts was sketched out & developed ahead of time & many initial concepts & designs were provided.
Dozens of different color combination were developed & a number of test prints were run until we found the best combinations.
36×36 original, hand drawn artwork printed on mirror-finish aluminum plates.
The original pen & pencil artwork was digitally painted in 9 different color schemes until a final 3 were chosen to be mounted side by side.
The 3 versions are colorized so that the hues from each panel blend into the next panel
This 3D Piece reads “Fresh”. It’s pretty small for a wildstyle & was painted over faux brick that I painted & distressed. The client wanted the murals to be very bright &
to add a splash of color to the earthy palate of the decor.
